With the final checks complete and with forward and reverse tested and engaging, Nandji 2 finally glides free from her pen, moving under her own power for the first time in nine long months. It’s a monumental achievement in what we have managed to get done.
This journey hasn’t been easy. It’s been a relentless road of problem-solving, patience, persistence and hard work. But this… this is the side of sailing people don’t always see, its the part that makes the ocean crossings, the new horizons, and the distant landfalls feel so deeply rewarding when they finally come.
Because one day soon, when we set off across the Atlantic ocean toward a new country, it’s the satisfaction in knowing the work and preparation has been done, which makes the sailing and the future arrival mean everything.
For now though, let’s keep it simple stupid. Baby steps. Our first sea trial out into Hout Bay, putting the engine through a series of controlled tests, building a clear picture of how everything is working, and whether it’s all truly in sync.
Starting by motoring directly upwind: 1,000 RPM… 2,000… 3,000… and then full throttle, logging speed and performance. Then we turn, repeating it all downwind, gathering the data that will tell the real story.
Whilst it is great to be out on the water, every element matters in a perfect installation. The engine, the gearbox, the propeller, they all have to work in perfect harmony. These tests will reveal the load, the balanc and whether everything is dialled in just right.
But sometimes, you don’t need the numbers to know the outcome.
As from the very first movement of leaving the pen… I already knew.
Something wasn’t right....
